Trump Organization Under Criminal Investigation

New York City, NY (WDEF) – The Trump Organization is now facing a criminal investigation.

Tuesday New York Attorney General Letitia James said her office is investigating former President Donald Trump’s businesses for potential criminal wrongdoing.

A spokesperson says she’s joining the Manhattan District Attorney’s probe.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office has been conducting a criminal investigation into Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, for two years. The Manhattan DA’s office obtained Trump’s tax records after a long legal fight in February.

At issue is whether the Trump Organization used misleading information to get loans and tax benefits.

The former president has called the Attorney General’s investigation ‘politically motivated.’
